Why Do I Excess Sleep?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...Why do I fall asleep several times a day and yet sleep all night as well, when up to about six months ago I was an insomniac. I'm also very breathless and my heart is in perfect condition and I am not asthmatic
Could it be something to do with amino acids? I weigh 9.5 stone and I'm 68.

you may be suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. You should undergo polysomnography test to confirm your diagnosis and if confirmed, may be you need to use CPAP or BiPAP during sleep.
